Özet

Deoxynivalenol (DEOX), a dangerous mycotoxin, causes serious health problems for humans and animals. Hence, the on-site monitoring of DEOX has begun to be important in the health and food sectors in recent years. In the present study, a molecularly imprinted surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on sulfur-doped boron graphitic carbon nitride (S-B-g-C3N4) was developed and applied for detecting DEOX in drinking water and orange juice samples, achieving high recovery. After the S-B-g-C3N4 nanocomposite was synthesized via thermal polycondensation and microwave treatment with a highly environmentally friendly approach, a SPR chip was modified with the S-B-g-C3N4 nanocomposite considering the high affinity between gold and sulfur. Then, the molecularly imprinted SPR sensor based on the S-B-g-C3N4 nanocomposite was prepared in the presence of methacryloylamidoglutamic acid (MAGA) as the monomer and N,N′-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as the initiator. The DEOX-imprinted SPR sensor based on the S-B-g-C3N4 nanocomposite showed linearity from 1.0 to 10.0 ng L−1, with a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 1.0 ng L−1 and a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.30 ng L−1. Finally, the selectivity, repeatability, and reproducibility of the DEOX-imprinted SPR sensor based on the S-B-g-C3N4 nanocomposite were investigated.
